I forgot to mention my basal temp today was 97.3 (second day of menstrual cycle)

and fifteen minutes later, after walking around the house and getting dressed

etc. my temps were 97.0; why does it drop when I move around????? Do I need to

get back onto a higher dose of hc? My belly is bursting already...)

Update: at 9:10 my temp has dipped to 95.4 and now at 9:40 it went back up to

97.4, I had just been resting without any activity. Does this info help?

I htink you need more HC. This dropping temp is not a good sign. Are you

certain your thermometer is accurate? That is a VERY low temp. Yes cold

is a HUGE stress on thebdy and requires more cortiosl.

Not sure, if it works better then way you've been doing it then maybe

go back to that.

thnanks, Val; yes it is an accurate mercury thermometer that I've been using for

weeks already.

basal temp was 97.3 (lower than usual, c'be cuz of my menstrual cycle start?) or

c'be cuz I've been lowering my hc from 90 down to 70? maybe my body does need

the 90?)

I took 15 mg hc upon awakening at 7:45 a.m. and basal was 97.3

8:00 temp went down to 97.0 and I took 12.5 cytomel at that time.

took son to school, I bundled up well, but the outdoor temp was brutal this

morn, despite being all bundled up, maybe I need more hc when I go out in the

cold?

at 9:00 I was back home for 10 minutes. My temp was 95.8

at 9:10 it was 95.4

At 9:40 it was 97.4

at 9:45 i took another 10 mg hc

11:45 temp 98.2, and took 12.5 hc and 12.5 t3

12:30 temp 98.6

1:00 98.8

3:00 took 10 hc

3:10 temp 97.7 (it's usually higher this time of day)

3:20 took 12.5 t3 cuz saw my temp is dipping

Now I'm so confused. I'm very exhausted. Not sure I should go back on my 90 hc

(I had body tremors on such high doses, but had stable temps)

Or should I increase t3?

This temp dipping and rising, I don't like it. I used to take 10 hc everry hour

and it kept my temps stable. Then again, how much does the t3 play a role?

Any ideas as to how to proceed from here?

thanks!

I knkow you shoudl nto stay on that high HC dosing for long as it WILL

degrade oyu rmuscle and it is VERY catabolic. It will make you lose

potassium and sodoium tooso I would not raise it back up but hold for a

few more days and try to lower it more.

Thanks, Val; So I am now on 65 hc for three days already and will not increase.

let's see what happens with the temps. They are not stable at all. The temps

dropping can be related to insufficient t3? When should I attempt to lower the

hc? I was such a calm person on the higher dose of 90 and I'm so bitchy and

cranky on this lower dose. Then again, maybe it's the low t3 that's got me so

cranky and irritable?
